Although it is a comedy, the whole chapter is full of descriptions of trivial things, full of German-style self-entertainment humor. As an international student who has lived in Germany for four years, many situations resonate very well. This is what I can bear. The reason why temperament sees it down. A lot of comments say the film is boring, I have no objection, Ms. Diaosi's humor is purely German, and films like Tony Erdman seem to be more in line with German tastes.
The film is still discussing the issue of the crisis in the middle. The heroine's father is still immersed in the dream that his pranks can bring joy to others, but the heroine has long hated it. In the pranks again and again, the heroine's life has been messed up. , The great thing about the movie is that it is not like other comedy movies, the final happy ending, but an ambiguous answer is given. If the father finally realized that he was out of tune with the times and made a change, and the daughter also realized that the father read his selfless love and released the previous suspicion, then probably I will go to Hearthstone with a hasty three-star rating. Although the film is a comedy, In my opinion, the ending alludes to the tragedy of this era. Although the relationship between the father and daughter eased in the end, the father is still the father who likes to play pranks. He is a company executive, but he still can't get rid of his own destiny. Like duckweed, he can only think that the company is at the mercy of the company. In the end, he did not complete the mission in Romania perfectly. He left the plane man and was sent to Singapore by the company. Day-to-day negotiation, allegation, going to drugs, clubbing, facing all kinds of sexual humiliation, coming back every year to have an extremely boring birthday party at home. . . . As a female director, she was very sensitive to perceive this tragic atmosphere and smashed it evenly into every detail of the film. A lot of midlife crisis movies have been made, and they can be regarded as main theme movies. If you make too many movies, you will inevitably get tired of aesthetics and have a tendency to sing badly. To borrow a sentence from Uncle Long, "It's not that the theme movies are annoying, it's that you don't. will shoot".
In Germany, there are a lot of men who look like dads in the movies, döner the cashier who jokes about charging you money, the hotel owner who pretends not to pay your credit card back, and even the guy who grabs you and chats with you while you're on the road Passers-by, they almost all have the same characteristics as the movie. They are unshaven, slovenly, with a beer belly, but they are very talkative. When they meet such a person when they are busy, they can only be like the heroine in the movie. Like the heroine in the movie, with a wry smile and speechless .
And like the heroine, who is cold, workaholic, boring, lacks freshness in everything, and a feminist in the eyes of men, I have never seen it in Germany (Is it because there are too few women in engineering? ) I don’t know if the screenwriter and director incorporated his own character into it when he created such an image. It's a bit like Zhu Jiaqian in the diet of men and women, but it's not. At least Zhu Jiaqian still likes to cook and has a sexual desire, while the heroine will only throw spaghetti at her father, eat the cake that the plane man has ejaculated, and then continue to use a mouthful on the phone. Sophisticated tone, negotiating business with the client across the phone as if nothing had happened.
The last nude party is the climax of the whole film. The heroine was dressed up and ready to have a birthday party with her colleagues at the beginning. She paused for a few seconds when wearing high heels, then threw away the high heels, turned to the room, and took off everything on her body. Clothes, and then open the door to pick up guests, I don't think this is the change of the heroine's ideology from conservative to open, I just think it is the willfulness of the heroine. I spent a lot of shots before to show the burden of the heroine wearing clothes and shoes. Her father had caused her a lot of troubles in the front. The nudes here are more self-defeating and playful. Of course, beggars see their minds, it's just my own opinion.
The acting skills of the male and female protagonists are beyond doubt, especially when the father's prank angered the look in his daughter's eyes after she was beaten so hard. Without enough experience, it is impossible to act.
Finally, the whole film has no background music except for the female lead singing. It seems a bit over-understood...)
(The ps movie did not find a perfect subtitle, I almost finished watching it with half raw meat, if there is any incorrect understanding, please correct me)
